But it was the spirit evinced by his eneers

ventured to seek aid from Congress, which

the field might have held the hand and

WASHINGTON. LETTER.
From our Regular Correspondent.

WAsHlNGTON, JAN, 3. 1887.
That human life is made up of
startling contrasts is probably no.
where so often felt rs at the capital of Il
great nation. On the last day of the
year, amid great pomp and display of
official mourning, all that was mortal
of one of the most prominent men in
American public life. was laid away in
the tomb. The following day was the
most brilliant one OF the Washington
social season, and the gay world of
fashion began its round of festivities.
at the beginning of this New Year,
it is more difficult than usual to let
"the dead past bury its dead. Visions
of the future will mingle with retlec-
tions of days that are gone. Death
made an exceptional havoc among
leading men in 1886, as is shown by
the names of Hancock, Tilden, Nc
Clellan, Arthur, Hendricks, and Logan.
at the funeral of General Logan,
held in the senate chamber, were pres
ent men and women representing the
highest and the lowliest people of the
country. OF his comrades in arms
Generals Sherman, Sheridan. and Ogl-
esby were prominent. with hundreds
of others. soldiers Of the Grand Army
of the Republic. Members and ex-
members OF both houses of congress.
with whom he had served many years,
were there. among them the notable
| figures Of Roscoe Conklin and William
Eyarts, while in front Of these sat the
members of tie supreme court and the
cabinet officers. The chair provided
| for the president was vacant. He was
anxious to he present. but the day was
exceedingly inclement. and having
been confined to the house for week
previous with another rheumatic at
tack. his physician advised him not to
subject himself to the drafts that are
4 30 prevalent in the capitol building.
No great political measures have
been consummated during 1885 except
that which deals with the Indian
| r. - t u
question. but others have been inaug-
urated, and it yet remains to be seen
| what shall become of protective
tariff, currency agitation. the Blair
educational bill, and further develop.
ments of civil service reform. But
4 while the region of practical politics
have been comparatively barren,
movements are on foot which are rap.
idly forming opinion IN one direction
/ or the other for serious legislation in
the future. If
! There are. as yet, no coast defcnses
I and no navy. And will there ever be
and have we any real need for either !!
That is the question. Its not possible

Cattle Thieving.

Not long since the corral of Gowdy
Bros. was entered in the night and two
large steers taken therefrom. Enquiry
led to the fact that party leading two
horned cattle passed the house of Geo.
Allen, in Middleton township, at about
three o'clock one morning. From this
point the cattle were tracked to Can
ton, where they were purchased by a
butcher of a stranger who struck out
for the Iowa side of the river as soon
as he had received his money. Lou.
Dibble, of Hurley, happened to see the
steers as they were being weighed on
the Canton scales, and upon hearing
Messrs. Gowdy describe the cattle lost
informed them of the Canton transac-
tion. Charlie Pool at once started for
Canton, and telegraphed yesterday
morning that the cattle were there
Dave Gowdy took the tram yesterday
to identify his property.
1t is evident that the thief was
not u stranger about the corral. as the
| two steers taken were among the best
and were about the only ones broke tc
lead. Whoever the thief should prove
to be, if captured he should receive the
full penalty prescribed by the law. On
| the cattle ranges of the "wild west he
would get either an ounce OF lead or q
/ lariat.

The following letters speak for them

who write knowingly, and who have
professional reputation with which to
"back" what they say:
To WHOM IT MAY CONCERN-This is

been acquainted with DR.. S. z. Fowler
for the past l7years. For Il number of
years we were rivals in the practice of
medicine. The Doctor has been en-.
gagged in the practice of medicine all
that time, he having been engaged in
no other business during this period of
years to my knowledge. When i lived
in Union, Iowa, we were the only physi-
clans there at the time, he had Il fAe
practice and was very successful and
painstaking physician. After / came
here l have known that he still contin-
ed to practice medicine. tthis place is
only five miles from Union) If he is

ers, and which will have to be reckoned
with many thorough scheme of social
REIMBURSEMENT, will also have a hearing
upon the naval question: He says the
American Republic has no more need
for its burlesque of navy than q
percable giant would have for stuffed
club or u tin sword. 1t is only main
tained for the sake of the officers and
the naval rings. In peace it is only a
source of expense and corruption; in
war it would be useless. We are too
strong for any foreign power to want
only attack, we ought to be too great
to wantonly attack others. If war
should ever be forced upon us, we could
safely rely on science and invention,
which are already supersedlng nayies
faster then they they can be built. So
with our army. All we need, if we
even now need that. is Il small force of
frontier policemen such as is main
tained in Canada and Australia.
Standing navies and armies are mimi
cal to the genius of democracy ana it
ought to be our pride as it is our duty,
to show the world that a great republic
can dispense with both; and in organi-
cation rs in principle both our army
and navy are repugnantto the demo-
cratic idea. In both we maintain that
distinction between commissioned Off
GERS and common soldiers and sailors
which arose in Europe when the no.
bility who furnished the one were con-
sidered a superior race to the serfs and
peasants who supplied the other. The
whole system is an insult to democracy
and ought to be swept away. Our
diplomatic system, too. is servileiv
copied from the usage of kings before
the ocean steamer and the telegraph
were invented. 1t serves no purpose
save to reward politicians and occas-
ionally to demoralize poet. 10 abol-
ish it would save expense. corruption,
and national dignity.
